tion taken on the on the line bodiment of the invention, drawing, comprises a base nstructed of hard wood although any other suitable material may be emof the base 5 there is mountsupport member of the base 5 is 6 having a therein. A suitable nut 8 support member Sand coscrew 1 to securely hold the 9 to the base 5, as clearly illus- 3 of the drawing. Pivotally mounta die-bar 9 end thereof and tachably mounted within the base 5 and disof the support 6 and die-bar posed intermediate 9 is an anvil clined upper faces ceive thereon a saw vided with a lower shan o as at I4 to prevent rot seated in the squared soc base,

The die-bar 9 is movable pivot pin 20, wh

purpose of reinserting the anvil in another position, thus locating another of the faces Itunder the die IIJ. A suitable spring 2|, connected to the base, normally urges the die-bar upwardly. A guide member 22 limits the upward movement of the die-bar and prevents lateral movement thereof.

Juxtapositioned in relation to the anvil is a saw tooth guide 23 secured to the base, which is preferably constructed of soft metal or other like material. The guide 23 serves to properly aline the teeth of the saw in respect to the anvil I3 and die IIJ.

In use, the saw blade I2 is positioned upon the support 6 and anvil I3, the tooth II being alined against the guide 23 and the clamp operated downwardly against the saw blade I2 to securely hold the saw on the support I and anvil 9. In this position, a tooth is now located between one of the inclined surfaces I4 of the anvil and the die IIJ and also properly alined therewith and is in readiness to receive the action of the die. Upon a blow being imparted the die-bar, the die descends, engages, and'shapes the tooth to conform to'the particular angle of the inclined surface I4. The clamp is then manipulated to permit the saw blade to be shifted a` sunicient distance to bring another desired tooth into alinement with the die and anvil. Repeated operations of this character enable certain saw teeth to be set at a desired angle and by reversing the saw blade, others are set at a corresponding angle in relation to the opposite face of the saw blade.

While the upper inclined surface I4 of the anvil I3 has been illustrated as constituting four in number and with varying angles to enable the saw teeth to be set for such cutting purposes as light, medium, heavy, or extra heavy work, any desirable number or type may be formed thereon. It is to be noted, that While I have illustrated a so-called form of straight saw, that circular saws may also be operated upon without any change in the construction of the device.

In the instances Where the base is constructed of hard wood, I provide a metal reinforcing strip 25 for reinforcing the same and to prevent splitting thereof.

It is to be distinctly understood that various changes and modifications may be resorted to without departing from the spirit of the invention or scope of the appended claims.

i Having described my invention, what I claim on said base and having spaced connected arms extending towards said support, an anvil provided with a plurality of tooth faces of different inclinations and detachably mounted on said base between said bracket and said support, a die-bar detachably hinged to said base and extending over said anvil and between said arms, said die-bar fashioned with a die formed on one end thereof and normally disposed above one of the faces of said anvil for coaction therewith to set a saW tooth, a clamp adjustably mounted on said connected arms for clamping a saw to said anvil on the top thereof and in a manner to maintain a saw tooth over an inclined face of said anvil against relative movement therewith, a spring connected to said base and said die-bar for normally maintaining said die in raised position over said anvil, and a member carrier by said base for limiting the movement of said die-bar away from said anvil to preclude accidental dislodgement of said anvil from an adjusted position on said base, said die-bar readily detachable from said base whereby to permit said anvil to be adjusted for aligning any one of said faces with said die for setting with a selected face,

2. A saw-set device comprising a base, a saw support secured to said base, a bracket mounted on said base and having spaced connected arms a saw tooth in conformity extending towards said support, an anvil provided with a plurality of tooth faces of diiferent inclinations and detachably mounted on said base between said bracket and said support, a die-bar detachably hinged to said base and extending over said anvil and between said arms, said diebar fashioned with a die formed on one end thereof and normally disposed above one of the faces of said anvil for coaction therewith to set a saw tooth, a clamp adjustably mounted on said connected arms for clamping a saw to said anvil on the top thereof and in a manner to maintain a saw tooth over an inclined face of said anvil against relative movement therewith, a spring connected to said base and said die-bar for normally maintaining said die in raised position over said anvil, a member carried by said base for limiting the movement of said die-bar away from said anvil to preclude accidental dislodgement of said anvil from an adjusted position on said base, said die-bar readily detachable from said base whereby to permit said anvil to be adjusted for aligning any one of said faces with said die for setting a saw tooth in conformity with a selected face, and a guide member secured to said base adjacent said anvil and having a section for positioning a saw tooth over a face of said anvil for operation thereon by said die.
